Summary: An actual Review
Review: The Ipaq is a great pocket pc overall. The Good and the badBad- With small amount of memory you can sometimes have a problem of certain programs not functioning properly. Since the pocket pc manages its memory automatically you cant always use your on board memory to its full advantage. The foul part on Compaq is that you must buy accessories for example the carring case you get with it is a sleeve which is tight as hell to pull your pocket pc which means you need to buy accessories and since there is no slot to stick a memory card in you have to buy a new sleeve that allows you to put a memory card in then you got to get the card seperately which all together can run you over another 100 or more which as we know will be more. Which is funny cause you can get a real pc for the price of this. I guess buy now your wondering what the good is: Well if your the type like me that has a lot of appointments on a daily basis and keeps forgetting those important meetings than this is definately for you. Its great because you have many programs that interact with your pc like word and excel plus once linked to your pc you can connect through the net download and whatever which is cool. The programs that you can load are amazing like you can turn your pocket pc from a calculator to a voice command gaming system to even a remote control for any tv stero or vcr or dvd player doesnt matter. I have found it very useful in my newly busy life and a great benefit for reminders. Battery last pretty long even with the color screen I mean if you plan on using it the whole day and plan on doing serious programs on it better bring your charger. Later

Summary: Love the concept and loved the product
Review: But after several months of owning it, I am noticing some things I don't like. Pro's: Pocket PC operating system is wonderful. It is just like Windows and has everything Windows has to offer in a little tiny version. I am a programmer, and love the ability to connect to databases with this product MP3. What else do I need to say about that?? Wonderful! Document Library: A specially designated place tos tore eBooks was a wonderful idea! Screen: Crisp and clean. Perfect clarity, much better than the Sony's. Con's: Battery Life: Very short. I need to recharge fully every night and do a restore as the battery dies throughout the day. Size: Very bulky. In today's marketplace I find it hard to believe this model cannot be more compact. Warning: This BARELY fits in the Coach mini-office. Lack of accessories: Try to find a hardcase for this model. Yikes! Without it, your iPaq will turn on on its own, draining the battery even more.

Summary: Solid device
Review: I had an Ipaq 3150 before this unit. That unit was a replacement for my Palm IIIXE. Each time I have changed my Handheld, it has been a step up. Now, going to the 3650 has been a giant step forward. The color screen is great. It is well lit, easy to read. The programs that come with the unit halp me keep myself organized at home or on the road. I already used Microsoft Outlook to organize everything while at my desk. The Activesync software that comes with the Ipaq automatically found all my appointment, calendars, and contacts and put them into my Ipaq for me. Sure, it only has 32mb of storage. But I have hundreds of contacts, 40-60 eamails per day, and I subscribe to Avantgo for offline web broiwsing and I never get near the maximum. If I want to store some music files, I just add a 64mb Compact Flash card and I have plenty of space. That 64mb card can store about 2 and a half albums when compressed into WMA format. I use my Ipaq on planes as a music player similar to an MP3 player (Can't call it an MP3 player if I use WMA files, can I?) All I do is hook up my headphones, turn on the media player (Included with PocketPC software), and put the player in my breast pocket. The only thing I would like to see is longer battery life. I regularly travel and after 8-10 hours of continuous use, I have to recharge it. One accessory I would recommend....I picked up a USB Sync cable that also recharges the battery from your USB port. It's great when on the road...one cable both charges and syncs up the Ipaq...

Summary: You can't go wrong with this series
Review: I purchased the Aero when it came out, and I upgraded myself to this one. I love this PDA. I travel to customer sites all day, and this PDA is a life saver. I have the keyboard, and I bought the expansion pack, the network card, the modem, and more memory. It's like having my computer w/o actually carry a huge and heavy bag. The color is fantastic and the battery lasts a good 4-5 days. I recommend any iPAQ. This one is an older version by now, but it is still very fast and does the job great. You can get a good price on this if you shop around.

Summary: Too expensive?
Review: I just recently bought my Ipaq from [auction site] and I wsa all hyped up. But once I got it, I realized I need to buy an expansion pack, because what can you do with only 32MB? Then you have to buy an adapter for a memory stick, buy the memory stick and a cable adapter! Now, I dont know if you have to do this for all Handhelds, but once you actually bought the thing, you have to spend twice as much for upgrade to make it even worth it.
Now, Im not saying this is not a great Handheld, it gets the job done, has great battery life, and is easy to use, but the question is: Is it worth it?
Im know considering selling my Ipaq for a more easlily upgradable Sony Clie, or a more expensive Ipaq where Im not going to have to spend hundreds of dollors to upgrade it.
So, think before you buy the 3650, do you wanna spend more money on the expansion pack or do you want to save a few buck and buy a more expensive Ipaq?

Summary: Best-of-breed PDA!
Review: The iPaq is certainly THE PDA to own. Dont think twice about it. I bought this model in early 2001 and, regardless the latest models that have appeared since, the quality and performance of this pocketpc has not declined. My only complaint is that, with the excellent games and programs that developers are putting out, i need extra memory!
I am about to get a CF expansion pack and 256 MB of extra memory, to be able to use it more and enjoy more programs and even have some mp3s on the go.
I have also updated the operating system to PPC 2002, and the results are great. Greatly recommended for first-time buyers and also PDAers from other systems in search of real connectivity, playability and processing power!

Summary: Wireless Wonder
Review: Others have pretty much said it. Great unit. A bit bulky with the dual expansion sleeve, but fast and functional. I am using a DLink wireless card with a wireless 802.11b access point both at home and work. I can now quickly and easily check email or look up a website and carry it around. It did take a bit of research getting thw wireless to work though. The ipaq is also pretty pricey once you get the jacket, the network card and expansion memory or an ibm microdrive.
